Presentation Title: ‘Navigating Change & Fostering Excellence’

Outline: How did we as leaders at Slack navigate change through generation-defining events whilst fostering a world class design team? 

Join me as I share out the framework our design team used for a healthy team shift and the formula behind our team’s operational success –  including setting up an L&D program from scratch, creating a strong team identity, increasing our external brand awareness, creating a robust hiring and staffing plan, and much more. 

Afterward, you’ll walk away with key frameworks to unlock your design team’s health, team performance, and product experience.
